We have lived in our house 9 months and have finished up a few major projects. We did hire help to put in the pool fence and install turf, but have done all of the other work ourselves. We have built some simple shelves in the garage, painted the whole downstairs, painted the front door, I redid a hutch, and just finished painting the cabinets. Here are some pics...
Garage before shelves
I bought a hutch on craigslist for $100 to store some of my craft stuff and spray paints.
I painted it red, added bead board, and painted the hardware.Looks great in my office
This is the only before shot of the front door
Painted the front door red, glazed it, painted the hardware, painted the walls, put in a new light, and there is a sneak peak at my kitchen cabinets.
Did the same outside.
Dining room
Didn't do much, just painted the walls and stuff on the walls
And now for the kitchen...
I have to give a shout out to my good friend Kailey! She spent many hours helping me paint and many hours with aching muscles from bending over and painting! A buddy Troy who brought over his tools and helped redo the island add the molding to the cabinets. And of course all of my great friends for hanging out with my kids while we worked! I am so lucky for such great friends!!!
Added molding, primed, painted, glazed, and clear coated the cabinets, added bead board and wood to the island and did the same painting process. Took 3 or 4 weeks for the kitchen.
I still need to add my hardware and would love to use a router and make one of the cabinets have a glass front and of course the flooring is horrible, but for now, I am happy.
